ESTABLISHMENT OF COLLATERAL ACCOUNTS
Section 2.1. Description of Account. The Financial Institution has established the
following accounts (each, a “Collateral Account”):
“Exchange Note Collection Account — The Bank of New York Mellon as Indenture Trustee,
as secured party for Ford Credit Auto Lease Trust 2011-A” with account number 879677; and
“Reserve Account — The Bank of New York Mellon as Indenture Trustee, as secured party
for Ford Credit Auto Lease Trust 2011-A “ with account number 879680.
Section 2.2. Account Modifications. None of the Financial Institution or the Grantors
will change the name or account number of any Collateral Account without the prior written consent
of the Secured Party.
Section 2.3. Type of Account. The Financial Institution agrees that each Collateral
Account is, and will be maintained as, either (i) a “securities account” (as defined in Section
8-501 of the UCC) or (ii) a “deposit account,” as defined in Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC).
Section 2.4. Securities Account Provisions. If and to the extent any Collateral
Account is a securities account (within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the UCC) the Financial
Institution agrees that:
(a) all securities, financial assets or other investment property (other than cash) credited
to each Collateral Account will be registered in the name of the Financial Institution, indorsed to
the Financial Institution or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the
name of the Financial Institution. In no case will any financial asset credited to any Collateral
Account be registered in the name of any Grantor, payable to the order of any Grantor or specially
indorsed to any Grantor unless the foregoing have been specially indorsed to the Financial
Institution or in blank; and
(b) all financial assets delivered to the Financial Institution pursuant to the Indenture will
be promptly credited to the appropriate Collateral Account; and each item of property (whether
investment property, financial asset, security or instrument) credited to any Collateral Account
will be treated as a “financial asset” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC.
ARTICLE III
SECURED PARTY CONTROL

Section 3.1. Control for Purposes of UCC. If the Financial Institution receives any
order from the Secured Party or its authorized agent (i) directing disposition of funds in any
Collateral Account or (ii) directing transfer or redemption of the financial assets relating to the
Collateral Accounts (a “Secured Party Order”), the Financial Institution will comply with
the Secured Party Order without further consent by the Grantors or any other person.
Section 3.2. Conflicting Orders or Instructions. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, if at any time, the Financial Institution receives conflicting orders or
instructions from the Secured Party and the Grantors, the Financial Institution will follow the
orders or instructions of the Secured Party and not the Grantors. The Financial Institution will
(i) have no obligation to investigate or inquire as to whether the Secured Party is entitled
pursuant to the Indenture or otherwise to deliver any Secured Party Order and (ii) be entitled to
rely on communications (including Secured Party Orders) believed by it in good faith to be genuine
and given by the appropriate party.
ARTICLE IV

received a Secured Party Order regarding the investment of funds held in the Collateral Accounts by
11:00 a.m. New York time (or such other time as may be agreed between the Financial Institution and
the Grantors) on the Business Day preceding a Payment Date, or (ii) a Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes and the Indenture Trustee has provided
notice of such continuing Default or Event of Default to the Financial Institution, the Financial
Institution will, to the fullest extent practicable, invest and reinvest
2
funds on deposit in such Collateral Account in accordance with the last investment instruction
received, which will be deemed to be effective with respect to such investment.

Section 5.1. Subordination. If the Financial Institution has, or subsequently
obtains, by agreement, by operation of law or otherwise a security interest in any Collateral
Account (or any portion thereof), the Financial Institution agrees that such security interest will
be subordinate to the security interest of the Secured Party.
Section 5.2. Set-off and Recoupment. The financial assets, money and other items
credited to each Collateral Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, recoupment, banker’s
lien, or any other right in favor of any person other than the Secured Party. However, the
Financial Institution may set off (i) all amounts due to the Financial Institution in respect of
customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of each Collateral Account,
(ii) the face amount of any checks which have been credited to a Collateral Account but are
subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds and (iii) any advances
made in connection with the settlement of any investment made with respect to the Collateral
Accounts.

OTHER AGREEMENTS
Section 6.1. Adverse Claim. Except for the claims and interests of the Secured Party
and the Grantors, the Financial Institution does not know of any lien on, or claim to, or interest
in, any Collateral Account or in any “financial asset” (as defined in Section 8-102(a) of the
UCC), cash or funds credited thereto.
Section 6.2. Correspondence, Statements and Confirmations. The Financial Institution
will promptly send copies of all statements, confirmations and other correspondence concerning any

represents that this Agreement is the valid and legally binding obligation of the Financial
Institution.
Section 6.4. Release of Financial Institution. The Grantors and the Secured Party
agree that the Financial Institution is released from any and all liabilities to the Grantors and
the Secured Party arising from the terms of this Agreement and the compliance of the Financial
Institution with the terms hereof, except to the extent that such liabilities arise from the
Financial Institution’s negligence. In no event will the Financial Institution be liable, directly
or indirectly, to any person or entity for any indirect, special, incidental or consequential
damages of any kind whatsoever (including lost profit), even if the Financial Institution has been
advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

Section 6.5. Termination. The obligations of the Financial Institution to the Secured
Party pursuant to this Agreement will continue in effect until the security interests of the
Secured Party in each Collateral Account have been terminated pursuant to the terms of the
Indenture and the Secured Party has notified the Financial Institution of such termination in
writing. The Financial Institution may terminate its obligations under this Agreement if the
Secured Party resigns or is removed as Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture,
provided, that such termination will not be effective until the Collateral Accounts have
been established with, and transferred to, another securities intermediary which has agreed to
assume the obligations of the Financial Institution under this Agreement. The termination of this
Agreement will not terminate any Collateral Account or alter the obligations of the Financial
Institution to the Grantors pursuant to any other agreement with respect to any Collateral Account.
Section 6.6. Existence of Other Agreements. The Financial Institution confirms and
agrees that:
(a) There are no other agreements entered into between the Financial Institution and the
Grantors with respect to any Collateral Account other than the Indenture;
(b) The Financial Institution has not entered into, and until the termination of this
Agreement will not enter into, any agreement with any other person relating to any Collateral
Account pursuant to which it has agreed to comply with entitlement orders (as defined in Section
8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) or instructions (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC) of such
other person; and
(c) The Financial Institution has not entered into, and until the termination of this
Agreement will not enter into, any agreement purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the
Financial Institution to comply with entitlement orders or instructions.
Section 6.7. Notice. If any person asserts any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim
(including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process)
against any Collateral Account (or in any financial asset, cash or funds carried therein), the
Financial Institution will promptly notify the Secured Party.
